The larva lives for several weeks (or years depending on species) underwater and undergoes a series of molts as it grows. They emerge from the water when ready to undergo a final molt where the "skin" splits to reveal the winged adult.

Dragonflies and damselflies can be differentiated by the way they hold their wings. The wings of most dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to, the body when at rest. Damselflies wings are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. Dragonflies are some of the fastest insects in the world. Damselflies are usually smaller, and not as fast as dragonflies. The eyes on a damselfly are apart; in most dragonflies the eyes touch. Neither can walk well. They eat flies, mosquitoes, and other small insects. They can eat many times their weight in mosquitoes every day.

Don't want to believe your a cheater.... Some of these poor bugs are frizzing !
A really good photographer take time and don't cheat. For me.
It's a shame... they are alive and they don't ask anything. Photographer are passionate by nature. but you... are you ? Really ?
